Tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern, we'll hear from the two candidates for
vice president.

My running mate Joe Biden and the Republican nominee, Governor Sarah
Palin, need to be ready to step in as president at a moment's notice,
and this is the only time they'll appear side-by-side before Election
Day.

This debate is also extremely important because early voting began this
week in eight states -- including the crucial battleground state of
Ohio.

In fact, the votes cast in Ohio this weekend could ultimately decide
who wins this whole election. There are only four days left in the
narrow window of opportunity when voters can register and vote early
all in one step.

Republican operatives tried to shut down one-stop early vote in court
this week, but they failed. And now you can help provide the resources
for an intensive four-day Get Out The Vote operation before the window
closes.

And after tonight's debate, voters will be motivated to cast their
ballots for the change this country needs.

Joe Biden and I share a vision for the future of this country, and it's
very different from the vision of our opponents.

I'm sure you'll see that contrast in tonight's debate.

But there's another contrast that you can see in every aspect of this
campaign. Joe and I know that real change comes from the bottom up, not
the top down. That's why we've always put our faith in supporters like
you.
